Soccer season

We took the plunge and became soccer parents!  For the past couple of months our Saturday mornings were spent at the soccer field watching the little man play soccer.  He was on a fantastic team of only 5 players (at his age in this league, they play 3 vs. 3) and they did really well. 

Come meet the Blue & White Fireballs! 

Pre-game strategy talk

There was lots of running...

...Ball kicking

...Throw ins

Daddy encouragement

Great coaching!

Half-time baby love!

End of the game "good job & high five parent tunnel" to run through.

Humm, I wonder who our next soccer star will be?

Joshua truly enjoys soccer and we saw determination like we had never seen in him before.  He would come home from a long day of practice and a game and then head to the back yard to set up his own drills with any and all balls that he could find.

GOAL!!!

...more practice, he seriously practiced on his own most days during the season... This particular day in his very own soccer outfit that he created by rummaging through his drawers :)!

The coach told the team that he would wear these silly sunglasses if there was a game that everyone on the team scored... Guess what?!  He wore them on the last game :)! 

During the end of the year party, the boys had fun wearing them too!  J and Jamie (pictured below) have been friends since they were babies :).

Coach's speech

The boys with their trophies!

Can't forget the coaches and team referee!
